The goal is to catch cases where the return value exists, but is
forgotten. There was a large enough number of them to turn this
into a real check. Initially, I just wanted to implement it to fix
the problems, then delete the code. But since this is so common, I
think it is worth the annoyance.
When wrapping container widgets to create reusable composite widgets,
`drill` will be called twice on the same widget definition. The first
call happens within the wrapping function and applies the children
widgets fine. The second call happens when the composite widget is used,
but since there are no children widgets defined, the call to
`set_children` sets the existing child to `nil` instead.
Fixes#3213.

get_children's return value should not be called "The". That was a
mistake because ldoc requires a name for return values and parameters.
If a name isn't provided, it thinks the first word of the description
is the name.
This is done now because a lot of code in `lib/` add buttons by manually
extracting buttons from awful.button. Instead of adding ugly code to
prevent using the legacy API, do this.
Now always call both check_widget and make_widget_from_value. This
should make it a lot less confusing when randomly trying to create
a widget as all ways to do it slowly converge toward an unified
one.
This way their name doesn't get mangle by the broken magic. It will also
eventually allow to `error()` in the template when the implicit
`@function` is used.
This commit also fixes a large number of issues found while
proof-reading everything.
Before this commit, it was added by `wibox.widget.base` if
`:setup()` is used. However it doesn't work for the `awful.popup`
because of the extra indirection.
This commit stops the monkey-patching and make sure the function
always exists. This doesn't prevent it from not working and in
the long run this should still be moved into the hierarchy.
However for now it makes the situation a lot more consistent and is a
quick band-aid without too much controversy.
Mitigate #2181
* Move table functions out of awful.util into new gears.table
* travis: Use v9999 prefix for full requests
Make sure no newly deprecated functions are used
* Move all `awful.util.table.*` calls to `gears.table.*` calls
Move table test functions from awful/util_spec to new gears/table_spec
Change awful.util.subsets call to gears.math.subsets in awful/key.lua
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.

It was set as `module` instead of `class` because ldoc was confused
set shown the methods as functions and functions as methods.
This commit set the explicit section so ldoc don't gress (wrongly)
* Better widget names when using the declarative syntax
* Add ratio.get_ratio to avoid using the private API
* Also support `set_widget` when swapping widgets
This commit makes these methods invoke the method on a widget in a protected
context. Thanks to this, e.g. the wibox and other widgets are protected from
errors in a child widget.
Additionally, fit_widget() now assumes 0 if a widget's :fit() method didn't
provide a number.

I just spent too much time tracking down a bug that happened while drawing a
widget. This is the reason why we should apply sanity checks while widgets are
constructed, so that we get a useful backtrace.
